FREEBASE E-LIQUID

Freebase e-liquid uses the free-base form of nicotine — the same form used in traditional cigarettes and the standard for vaping since the category's inception. It is compatible with sub-ohm tanks, rebuildable atomizers, and higher-wattage pod systems. This collection includes e-liquids from established brands available in Canada, spanning a range of nicotine concentrations, VG/PG ratios, and flavour profiles.

"Freebase nicotine e-liquids are formulated for use in sub-ohm and higher-wattage devices. At lower nicotine concentrations (3–6mg), throat sensation is minimal. At 12mg and above, throat hit becomes more pronounced."

Device Compatibility

Freebase e-liquids are designed for use in devices that operate at higher wattages and with lower-resistance coils. Typical compatible hardware includes:

Sub-ohm tanks (coil resistance below 1.0Ω)
High-wattage pod systems (20W+) with mesh or sub-ohm pod coils

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between freebase e-liquid and nicotine salt e-liquid?

Freebase e-liquid uses nicotine in its unmodified alkaline form, which produces a more pronounced throat sensation at higher concentrations. Nicotine salt e-liquid uses nicotine that has been combined with an organic acid (typically benzoic acid), which lowers the pH and allows for higher nicotine concentrations with reduced throat sensation. Freebase is generally used in sub-ohm, higher-wattage devices; nicotine salts are typically used in low-wattage, MTL pod systems.

What devices are compatible with freebase e-liquid?

Freebase e-liquid is compatible with sub-ohm tanks, RDAs, RTAs, and higher-wattage pod systems. It is not recommended for use in low-wattage MTL pod devices designed for nicotine salt formulations, as the higher VG content may not wick correctly and can cause coil damage.

What nicotine concentrations are available in Canada?

Health Canada regulations cap nicotine concentration in vaping products sold at retail at 20mg/mL. Freebase e-liquids are commonly available in 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 18mg concentrations. Availability varies by brand and product.

What VG/PG ratio should I use for my device?

Higher VG ratios (70/30 and above) are suited for sub-ohm tanks and RDAs that can handle thicker liquids. Balanced ratios (50/50 to 60/40) work across a wider range of devices and wick more easily in tighter coil configurations. Consult your device's manual or coil specifications for the manufacturer's recommended VG/PG range.
